Rotational Year: Internal Medicine, the Case Reports and Exam experience.

aulaconversations.comLeave a comment

Hi 6th years,
As promised, here’s a sample of my case reports for the Internal Medicine rotation. To confirm you will be needing only 8 reports. You can find a sample of my reports and a downloadable template here. The case reports were rarely discussed during exams, but they were used to select topics occasionally. The Internal Medicine exam itself can be nerve-wracking due to the volume of details, but with hard work and confidence, you can succeed. Good luck!
